Horrible Murder.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 1.-Particulars
of horrible crime have just come to light
Last Tuesday morning Tarleton Steele,
colored, murdered his wife near Ada, in
this county. He took the body and carried
it off to lonely place in the woods mile
from home, threw it in gully, piled straw
on it, then poured kerosene oil on the heap
and set fire to it, He then returned home
and left the body to be cremated. The
gentleman on whose place he was liv-
ing missed the woman, but said nothing
about it, and the murderer remained on the
place day and night after the crime was
committed Wednesday he went back to the
woods and found that the body had not
been entirely burned up. He piled straw
on the remains but having no match to
start the fire again, he fed. Suspicion had
been aroused, and neighbors searched the
woods and found the remaining portions of
the body. The murderer was captured ten
miles distant at shutdown and brought to
this city and lodged in Jail. He made
full confession Of the terrible deed.

When Napoleon talked of invading italy
one of his officers said "But, sire, remem-
Der the Alps" To an ordinary man these
would have seemed simply insurmountable,
but Napoleon responded eagerly There
shall be no Alps" So the famous Simplon
pass was made. Disease, like mountain,
stands in the way of lame, fortune and
honor to many who by DR.. Pierce's "Gold
en- Medical Discovery" might be healed and
go the mountain would disappear. 1t is

I see by the papers that great amount

Mr.. Barton always kept his stock of goods
in what he thought to be two good iron
safes, his books and bonds in fire proof
safe, and had been doing so for the last
forty years. They were safe, because he
was gentleman who kept his own counsel,
and never medded with other peoples bus.

uables in this way. He a0as right. There
was no spirit of selfshness in this, for he
was kind and charitable. and had often
relieved the wants of others, and had given
away hundreds of dollars, and when he
did 80, he never let his left hand know
what his right hand did. He now receives
his reward in another and better world.

FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 1,

JUST AS expected, the creditors of VAR
olnIa decline to treat for settlement OF
their debt upon terms previously determin
ed upon by Virginia-their debtor. They
say they cannot be expected to acquiesce
in a settlement in regard TO which they
have not been consulted; they ask for a
compromise by consent, not by coercion
And the simple justice of what they say is
recognized by every right thinking man.
How could a settlement OF debt between
Two men be expected, if one of Them, before
thew met to effect that settlement, snousu
announce that it should only be settled IN
his favor, and upon his own terms? And
vet such were the terms upon which the
Virginia legislature asked the creditors Oh
the Slate to meet her joint legislative com
mittee, and treat for the settlement OF the
Virginia dent Ii the democratic members
of the Legislature be wise and patriotic CIT
izsns of their State, they will now pass bill
creating commission of three able, COM
petent and respected Virginians, one OF
whom shall be republican, and not one
member of the legislature. who shall be EN-
powered to meet the accredited agents OF
Virginia's creditors and settle the debt up
on the easiest terms the latter will agree to-
Surely no creditors could be less exacting
than those of Virginia have been, and there
is every reason to believe that such COM
mission IS that referred to could obtain
from them eli that Virginians could in rea
son ask, and more than which 1t would De
